[NBLUG/Announce] General meeting April 8th - SteamOS

[Allan Cecil]

Start: 2014-04-08 7:30 pm
End: 2014-04-08 ~9:00 pm
Speaker: Allan Cecil
Location: O'Reilly Media

Description:
I'll be firing up my SteamOS box (built from various pieces I cobbled together) and demonstrating this distribution based on Debian Wheezy that's designed for a 10-foot experience, i.e. sitting on a couch.  I'll be showing how Valve configured the OS and how XBMC and even Netflix support can be added.  I'm almost positive there will be some 4-player local co-op going on by the end of the meeting.  In other words, expect a live demo - there's no need for slides for *this* presentation! :)

If you happen to have a wired controller that you'd like to try in the form of a "plugfest" (such as an Xbox 360 controller or an old DualShock USB controller), please feel free to bring it with you.  Also, if anyone has a projector that can do better than 800x600, please let me know / bring it along.  See you there!
